Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 75 "A country woman, skilled in surgery, even better than the hospital director? How is that possible!"

Especially considering that Sheng Zexi is a soldier, he possesses such keen insight, observation, and judgment.

She knew that Sheng Zexi would find out someday.

However, she won't tell you on her own initiative.

Even though she knew Sheng Zexi loved her, Gu Jianing still couldn't fully trust him after what happened in her previous life, enough to confide her secrets, especially about her rebirth.

Perhaps, we'll only see when Sheng Zexi notices something's wrong and asks her about it.

Sheng Zexi stared at Gu Jianing for a long time before looking away, then grasped Gu Jianing's hand and said, "Okay, I believe you."

Gu Jianing smiled, secretly relieved.

The next morning, Aunt Yu and Cui Bin, who had taken leave, arrived, along with the couple's two tall sons, aged 14 and 13, who were in junior high school.

The two attend a nearby middle school. Today happens to be Saturday, and they learned from their mother that it's the day their father is going to have leg surgery. How could they not come?

Gu Jianing locked the door, then carried her homemade toolbox and followed them to the military hospital.

Since it involves surgery, unlike acupuncture, it's better to have a dedicated operating room.

Within the military region, only the military region hospital has an operating room.

After Gu Jianing made the request, Cui Bin used his connections to borrow the operating room for two hours.

The operating room was borrowed, but because Gu Jianing had previously said she didn't want others to know, Cui Bin didn't tell anyone the reason for borrowing the operating room.

As Gu Jianing followed Cui Bin's family to the military hospital, they encountered quite a few people along the way.

Most of those people had never seen Gu Jianing before, and they were all surprised to see such a beautiful Gu Jianing at the military dependents' home.

Upon hearing the recent rumors, everyone speculated that the beautiful girl in front of them might be the wife of the Jade-Faced Yama, Battalion Commander Sheng.

Soon, they arrived at the military hospital. Gu Jianing put on a white coat and a mask for the operating room, and Cui Bin, who was already prepared, also walked in. The operating room door slowly closed.

"Hey, who's that person?"

"Is anyone performing the surgery?"

Not far away, just before the operating room doors slowly closed, Peng Wenjing happened to pass by and caught a glimpse of it.

Although the doctor was wearing a mask, her eyes were very beautiful, but Peng Wenjing knew that she had never seen that doctor before.

Besides, aren't there any patients in the operating room who need surgery today?

With doubts in her mind, Peng Wenjing asked the person in charge of the operating room and learned that the hospital did not need to use the operating room today, but a battalion commander named Cui Bin had borrowed it for 2 hours.

Cui Bin?

Peng Wenjing felt that the name was somewhat familiar.

Fortunately, she had a good memory and quickly figured out who Cui Bin was.

Cui Bin, a battalion commander, was wounded in the leg several years ago during a mission. He was hit by shrapnel, but because the shrapnel was close to the major artery in his leg, surgery would be very dangerous with current medical technology. So he chose conservative treatment.

For the past few years, he has been receiving conservative treatment. Recently, Cui Bin came for a follow-up examination, but the results were not very good.

So if he doesn't have surgery soon, no amount of conservative treatment will help Cui Bin's leg; it will be ruined. And given his condition, he can no longer stay in the army and will have to leave the military.

"So why is Battalion Commander Cui using the operating room? Could it be that he's looking for someone to perform surgery on him?" Thinking of the woman in the white coat who went in with him, Peng Wenjing felt it was possible the more she thought about it.

"Nurse Peng, you actually guessed it!" At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out from behind.

Peng Wenjing turned around and saw an old lady. She remembered that this was an old lady surnamed Li whom she had recently been in charge of. Her son was also a battalion commander.

She remembered that this old lady loved to gossip about other people's affairs.

Judging from the implication in Old Mrs. Li's words, could it be...?

"Grandma Li, do you know who performed the surgery on Battalion Commander Cui Bin?" Peng Wenjing asked.

"Of course I know, my family lives right next to Cui Bin's." Both families are neighbors in a tenement building. Nowadays, the soundproofing in tenement buildings is not very good. Although Grandma Li is old, her hearing is still very good. She especially likes to gossip and find out about other people's affairs.

As Granny Li hesitated, her eyes darting around, Peng Wenjing took out a few candies from her pocket and stuffed them into her hand.

"Grandma Li, if you know, please tell me."

Grandma Li immediately put a few candies in her pocket and quickly spoke up, "You know about the woman who's been talking about in the family compound lately—the wife of Battalion Commander Sheng Zexi, right?"

Peng Wenjing certainly knew.

A while ago, when that woman first came to live with Brother Sheng, everyone in the family compound was saying that she was an ugly monster with a face full of pockmarks, who was afraid to show her face when she went out, and that she had even plotted against Brother Sheng.

But recently, the rumor suddenly changed.

The woman who became that person wasn't actually ugly; she was a great beauty. She even said that not only the people in the family compound, but even the performing arts soldiers from the cultural troupe couldn't compare to her.

Moreover, this time, many people witnessed it with their own eyes, so it's definitely not fake.

They even said that Sheng Zexi would marry that woman because she was beautiful, like a fairy, and that even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman.

Peng Wenjing was furious when she heard the rumor.

She desperately wanted to rush straight to the family compound to see what that woman looked like!

She was a country woman, and she absolutely did not believe that the woman was some kind of celestial being. Brother Sheng was definitely not such a superficial person.

But what does this have to do with that country woman?
Soon, Granny Li answered her question.

"I heard that Battalion Commander Sheng's wife seems to know medicine. This time, she used this operating room to operate on Cui Bin's leg!"

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Peng Wenjing could no longer remain calm.

"Grandma Li, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true, I heard it with my own ears."

"That's ridiculous! This Battalion Commander Cui is really something. Even the director of our hospital, who's known as the best surgeon, couldn't operate on his leg. And he actually listened to a country woman and asked her to do it for him. Isn't that just asking for trouble?"

"A country woman who can perform surgery, and is even more skilled than the hospital director? How is that possible!"

How could a country woman, probably an illiterate person who can't read a single word, possibly know medicine or perform surgery? That battalion commander named Cui Bin must have been deceived!

But they're already in the operating room, and Peng Wenjing can easily imagine that when they come out, Battalion Commander Cui Bin will probably be dead.
